T master Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Mathew Stafford's wife has just found out she needs to have brain surgery for a tumor that is causing her a bunch of different symptoms & she went to instagram & posted her feelings on the matter . Matt had her go to the Lions team physician after another diagnosis from another DR. that had her just resting & the Lions team physician suggested she get a MRI & that is when they made the discovery she is very scared so i thought the Bills prayer warriors could put them on their list !! Thanks !!! 8 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 She has an acoustic neuroma which should not be life threatening. Still scary to have surgery involving the brain, of course. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not joking here because I've known people who have had brain surgeries that suffered long term effects afterwards and almost died from "Oopsies" while the doctors were in there. Prayers to Mrs Stafford and the Stafford family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Brain surgery is scary stuff! I had a pituitary adenoma. It was giving me migraine type head aches and blurring my vision. Had it removed and the head aches went away and my vision came back to the normal range. Doc said they're not cancerous, unless you have cancer at another location in your body. So now I get an MRI every year, and a check back with the neurosurgeon. Blessed that we live in a country that has health care that seems to routinely handle these type problems. Surgery on a Monday, two and a half days in ICU, then another couple days in a regular room, then home on Friday, same week. Obviously praying for Mrs Stafford. Hopefully she'll be fine too! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prayers to Mrs Stafford and the Stafford family. These tumors are close to the vestibulocochlear and facial nerves. The first affects hearing and balance and the second supplies muscles in the face and carries taste sensations. So depending on the size and involvement you could affect these functions. No fun obviously but it's not a malignant tumor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctors are only like 50% or less at accurately diagnosising cancer. That ibm Watson is like 97% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
